Every day he woke up early in the morning and went 2 for food. He ate fruit and insects. After breakfast, he had a meeting with the monkeys. They spoke to him in a (n) 3 language but he was able to understand them. Then he met the snakes for lunchtime. During lunchtime, they discussed 4 to do about the tiger. The tiger was their enemy (敌人).It wanted to eat 5 of them and they were afraid of it. Finally, they thought of a plan. The monkeys and the snakes' 6 was that Jack should try to catch the tiger while it was sleeping. So, when the tiger was taking its afternoon nap (打盹), Jack took his 7 and quietly walked towards the tiger. Jack was very quiet, but the tiger was sleeping very 8.The tiger opened its eyes, looked at him and gave a loud roar (咆哮). Jack was so afraid that he forgot to run away. The tiger jumped on him and 9 as it opened its mouth to eat him, he woke up. When he opened his 10, Jack found that his pet cat was licking (舔) his face. He was so relieved (宽慰的).

    Before Father's Day.I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work.I decided to make him happy by buying him a special Father's Day gift.

    One day after school I 1to the Agins which was known for fashions and styles.I told Agins that I was looking for a Father's Day present.

    “Do you think he'd like a2？”she asked.“I think he may.”I told her.

    She3 a Swiss watch and I told her that I would like it.

    “How much money do you have?”she asked.

    “4dollars.”I replied.

    “You're so lucky!” she told me.“It's only $ 11.You still have $ 1 for the5.”She packed the watch and I thanked for my business.and I rode off home with the gift under my arm.

    When my father opened the gift，he was very6.“Where did you get it?”

    “I bought it at the Agins.It cost me $ 11.”I said.My father was shocked into silence.

    Many years later，the watch cost several hundred dollars，7I appreciated (赞赏) how wonderful Agins had been to me.I always felt regretful (后悔的) that I never had a8 to thank her.

    “What really surprises me to this day...my daughter.” My father said，“Letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was unbelievable (不可相信的).But the fact that she let you leave the9with a dollar for the card was a touch (触动) of kindness.I'll never10it.”

    I know the saddest moment in my life. Three years ago I was in Grade 6. I arrived at my school that morning. As soon as I walked into the classroom, I felt sad and uncomfortable. I knew exactly why the mood felt this way. The people around me were 1 their feelings. Today was the day when our teacher would leave and move to another school. Mr. Smith was finally saying goodbye to our school after five years' 2 here.

    Mr. Smith was a lovely man. He would tell a lot of jokes during the class 3. So you would remember them. He was very easy to talk with. He was cool, relaxed, and was always 4. When you would see him. It was 5 not to like him.

    That day began with our class song as usual. I felt sad and uneasy. I couldn't even imagine how things were going to be 6 him. All the good times I've had with him, the jokes he told that made me laugh, the countless hours of watching him play the guitar and the warm 7 he kept on his face… These thoughts went through my mind, and I became inspired. Why did Mr. Smith have to go? This is the 8 day of my life! I was lost in my thought.

    "Hey, are you all right?" My friend Peter 9.

    "Yeah, I'm all right. I'm just kind of sad," I 10.

    "Yeah, me too. I wish he was our teacher forever. Mr. Smith is the best, "he said.

    Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants. In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.

    In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham. In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize（普利策奖）. He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents. He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains.

    Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people."
